NOTICE: THIS IMAGE IS COPYRIGHTED AND NOT TO BE POSTED ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE. Well, not perfect but not bad for just a beginner at shooting flying birds. Could be a little more sharp. Using a Canon 100-400mm, I shot the duck at 160mm. I could have and should have zoomed out far more. Think I will repost this later on with a nice replacement sky but for now, the plain blue sky shows off the duck well. It's a Northern Shoveler. Canon 50D.

You caught the action again very good. It is hard to get them in focus within the lens range especially when really zooming in for that close up. I sure can see why they got their name. Did I tell you that I love ducks! :) ♪ ♫ :)Sandi♪ =^..^=

It is better then any I have been able to do Owd Momma. It looks like it is practicing for a photo finish. Donald by a bill is the winner. Good shot.

Curious about the ISO you shot this at!...A high ISO would have sharpened the image

Fabulous take Momma

Nicely done. You stopped it cold in its wingbeats, (can't
say tracks). LOL.

Well done Pat - birds are the most difficult thing to capture - I have a problem - I am just too slow!! It is a little out of focus but not much - would like to see your revised version sometime.

It is very hard to capture birds in flight, but you are off to a great start. Well done Pat.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
